Installation
■

If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to
circulate freely.
Use
■
Always unplug the appliance after use.
■
Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity
consumption and the shorter the drying times.
■
Never tumble dry items that have been in
contact with chemicals such as dry cleaning
fluid. These are of a volatile nature and could
cause an explosion.
■
As some bulky items such as duvets and
eiderdowns should be dried in large
commercial machines because of their bulk,
check with the manufacturer of the item if it is
suitable for drying in a domestic machine,
even if the dry weight of the item is within the
limit advised.
■
Always check that no cigarette lighters have
been left in pockets.
■
Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to
preserve the door seal.
■
The fluff filter must be cleaned after every use.
■
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged
filter or without filter as this may cause a fire.
■
Do not overload the appliance.
■
Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the
dryer.
■
Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as
they could get stuck between the door and the
drum, thus blocking the latter.

■
Under no circumstances should you attempt

local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine
